3Rs Ambassador Volunteer Program
About the Program
How does the program work?
The long-term goal is to have one or a few 3Rs Ambassador Volunteers in each building. With approval from the building manager along with free resources and support from City staff, the 3Rs Ambassador Volunteer will do education and outreach campaigns.
The type of campaigns can vary to accommodate the building, as well as the volunteer. It can be as simple as putting up information posters in common areas or do bigger campaigns, such as organizing a clothing drive or a waste-free building event.
More creative ideas:
- Put up posters
- Create a lobby display
- Organize a waste-free potluck meal with neighbours
- Do a waste diversion activities and games night
- Organize a “reuse-it” craft night
- Do a book exchange
- Do a door-to-door outreach campaign
